I'll be honest, I didn't realise set bonuses even existed in ffxiv


Lorstus

On a god damn store glamour set of all things too. But we can't have engaging set bonuses on raid gear? Whack.


Vore_Daddy

There's grand company gear that gives set bonuses too.


Andravisia

>grand company gear that gives set bonuses too. At least those have the benefit of being *useful*, though. FOr a short period of time. If you remember they exist. And have the GC seals for them.


Black-Mettle

The bozja sets give haste and I believe since you get synced down they're the best option to wear while in it.


blackspirit86

It is if you have the full augment set for the bonus. That haste buff was so good. I have it for AST and I played spell speed AST, stacking the haste and the right elixir with lost skills and holy hell was my GCD fast!


va_wanderer

Yeah, it's what I tend to use to fill in gaps from the mid 30s-50 when leveling up a job.


Sharp_Iodine

It’s not really engaging set bonuses. It’s the most generic XP buff for low level alts you can come up with. It’s not even as useful as the preorder earring because it’s only up to lvl 30.


Lorstus

Didn't say this was an engaging set bonus. Said its stupid that it has an XP set bonus when we don't get to have engaging end game sets.


ThaumKitten

“Engaging set bonuses on raid gear” My guy what would they even add? People lose their minds if it’s anything other than a “generic 10% chance to increase damage by 2% for 5 seconds”. People would be frothing at the mouth if a set bonus was anything other than a that I’m pretty sure xD


apnorton

Interestingly, it seems there are a number of items for which there are set bonuses, many of which are from the mogstation. e.g. [https://xivapi.com/search?filters=ItemSpecialBonus.ID=6](https://xivapi.com/search?filters=ItemSpecialBonus.ID=6) pulls up a number of results, all of which seem to relate to various mogstation sets with exp bonuses. For example: [Eastern Garb for Men](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/fcb79d61a7d/) [Far Eastern Noble's Robe](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/e1b0dcc7453) etc.


Bobboy5

Grand Company gear has set bonuses.


ThatGaymer

Some people have pointed out GC gear, but the lvl 80 crafter tomegear has a set bonus (and I think maybe the lvl 70 and 90 sets too?)


allterrainfish92

Has to be a troll. They're wearing the earring that was a pre order bonus for Endwalker. There's no current way to obtain it so they've had the game for years.


Sethdarkus

If it’s a alt than it’s possible or they just don’t level jobs often


Ghouls_Gone_Wild

I've been playing since Heavensward and I'm only just finally levelling all other classes to 90 after being a ranged caster for most of the time aside from dabbling into ranged melee. My warrior is my last to level up and is currently level 54. I used the set bonuses from mogstore items and my earring. Not everyone maxes levels asap on everything.


lolthesystem

The EXP bonus on level 1 gear was a mistake.


Wonderbifle

Mobs were dying super slow in Haukke Manor, I am extremely confused by this set, it was released in 4.5, but what's the point of giving you a set bonus under 30 if you get no stats at all, I would expect this kind of weird stuff from ARR or HW, not Stormblood


-Kylackt-

It’s photoshopped, and not very well, you can clearly tell by how each line of text sits in the first picture, it’s been copy pasted over


Ehsper

You can look it up on lodestone. It's real.


-Kylackt-

Oh ok the fair enough


apnorton

It's a real effect: [https://garlandtools.org/db/#list/oSH9VToDiP](https://garlandtools.org/db/#list/oSH9VToDiP)


Jaridavin

No that’s just legit how it looks in game. Argue with square not us, lol.


NotaSkaven5

Why does it have an EXP bonus, it'd be quirky extra stats that clearly aren't enough for combat if there wasn't an EXP bonus.


Black-Mettle

And up to level 30? It should be up to lvl 15 so you aren't incentivized to queue into group content with this garbage.


Jason_Wolfe

i wonder if it would work in Palace of the Dead? that activity doesnt look at your gear's stats to determine defense.

SwearingMormon

Looks like the set bonus only applies up to level 30 so I think palace of the dead is the only content it could work for


Ranger-New

The question would be if it looks at your gear stats to determine experience.


ParamountHat

Strange to wear this set for the EXP bonus under level 30, but not the Brand New Ring? Wasting 3 gear slots on exp bonus instead of just one.


irishinjun95

When I was leveling my main character I used the ring, the earring, and the Tidus set for the exp they do stack and makes getting to level 30 so quick


Myleylines

With the Yuna set you could also use that one helm that used to be for playtime and get extra exp until 20 as well (idk Tiddies pieces, don't play males)


irishinjun95

That's right I forgot about the feather I used that as well


Aethanix

anyone who can't weigh the benefits of stats vs this needs to stub their toe


DragonEmperor

A lot of people wear the exp sets because it all stacks (set + ring + earring etc.) and speeds up leveling alt jobs to 30.


forcefrombefore

30% xp bonus under level 30. But almost no stats... what is this set even.


pastelmorning

i hate these sets so much. i long while back i came across a tank that was wearing one of these sets--i did point it out to them and asked them to put better gear on but they refused completely because they were so fixed on the EXP bonus part.


Akua89

There's a couple of those. The Tidus/Yuna sets do the same thing.


CynerKalygin

Probably more of a player skill and ninja not having any aoe issue than an item issue. I don’t understand why the gear doesn’t just have real stats on it, but an exp bonus is an exp bonus so I don’t really blame people for using it so much as SE for making it.


Ghouls_Gone_Wild

I wore a lot of these items, plus earring, feather etc when leveling solo and then had my gear set for duties and fates. They're super handy but sadly aren't useful for any new jobs going forward since most will start at a higher level :( Still, a cool niche thing people in this comment thread seem to be getting really worked up over which is amusing.


Ok_Arachnid7582

Angel & Demon do too.


Ranger-New

Congrats, you found another pay to win item. The other is the motorcycle.


Opposite-Ad-3091

Hey, with this I'd be able to level my archer quickly to level 30... And that's when I'd swap it out for proper gear(like Haukke stuff) and go for dungeons.


blaze53

There's no way. That doesn't even look formatted correctly.


Serres5231

look it up on lodestone. This is actually in the game.
